Lesson 14
Outcome 14: Compare the differences between the 3 blood vessels

8. Where does blood go?
Blood needs to go to all living cells including muscles, organs and even bones.
This is so living cells get essential oxygen and nutrients

9. Blood Movement
Blood flows around the body via the pumping action of the heart.
It travels through “pipes” called blood vessels

10. Blue blood?
You can see evidence of blood vessels by looking at your wrist.
Why does the blood appear blue?

11. Label arteries, veins, capillaries
Label arteries, veins, capillaries. Label arteries as leading away from heart, high pressure but low volume. Veins as low pressure but high volume, toward the heart. Colours indicate oxygen levels.

12. Valves in the Vessels
Valves in the blood vessels help the vessels to behave like a one way street.
Blood travels in the same direction around the body

13. Task
Work through activity 4 to gather more information about the blood vessels
Draw your own diagram of the circulation system which shows where the different blood vessels are located

15. Lesson 15
Outcome 15: Label a diagram of the heart and list the order that blood flows through the heart and body

17. Task
Take a sheep’s heart and identify some of the parts from the outside:
Left side
Right side
Major vein from the body
Aorta
Pulmonary artery and vein

18. Ready to make a cut
Find the groove between the left side and right. Carefully cut either side of this groove.

19. Inside the Heart Observe: How many chambers can you find?
Where do the chambers lead to? What leads into the chambers?
What separates the chambers?

20. Task
Collect a diagram of the heart from the teacher and complete the labels
Watch video “Blood circulation in Heart”
While watching, list the correct order of the blood as it travels around the body:
Left ventricle, right atrium, lungs, rest of the body, left atrium, right ventricle.
Answer the questions from activity 5
Complete the questions from activity 6

21. Journal and Push Yourself
Outcome 15: Label a diagram of the heart and list the order that blood flows through the heart and body
Many parts of the body have the prefixes “superior” and “inferior”. Eg: superior vena cava. What do these terms mean to a biologist or doctor?

22. Heart Rate Investigation
Prepare an investigation which helps to answer the following aim:
“How is heart rate related to exercise?”
You will need a more specific hypothesis to help answer this problem.

23. Outcome 16: Describe the causes and treatments for heart diseases
Lesson 16
Outcome 16: Describe the causes and treatments for heart diseases

24. Video Watch the following video on “Heart transplant surgery”.
What were some of the issues that needed to be considered during the procedure?

25. Task
Read through Activity 9, silently
Answer questions 1-6

26. Discussion
Upon your death, a sick person may be able to make use of your healthy organs to increase their own life expectancy through an organ transplant.
Who should decide if your organs are transplanted after your death?

27. Who should decide?
Make a list of the stakeholders who might be involved in the decision
Of these stakeholders, what are their reasons for being involved in the decision?
Who is the most important stakeholder? Who is the least important?

28. Facts
1. You must register to be an organ donor if you are over 18 years old
2. After death, despite being registered, your family has the right to say “no”.
3. If your family cannot be contacted, any other person you may know may be asked for final consent.

29. Tell someone
If you register to be a donor…
Tell your family!

Watch the video “Body Systems” available on clickview.
While watching, complete the worksheet and be prepared to give your answers at the end.

33. Lesson 17
Outcome 17: List the 3 organs that excrete wastes from the body. List what waste is excreted by each organ

34. Notes
The excretory system is responsible for the removal of metabolic wastes.
Metabolic wastes are the unnecessary products produced by chemical processes in the body.
It’s like the body’s form of throwing away the rubbish.

35. Not just the kidneys! Skin Lungs
What is the waste product excreted by the skin and lungs?

36. What’s not excretion?
Faeces is not a waste product of the excretion system.
Why?
Faeces was never absorbed by the body and therefore not used in any chemical processes. It is a digestive waste only.

37. Task Activity 10 – questions 1 to 4
Activity 11 – complete the procedure

40. Lesson 18
Outcome 18: Describe the structure and purpose of joints in the skeletal system

41. How many?
Write down on a scrap piece of paper how many bones you think are in the human body.
If you already know this answer. Have a guess at how many bones are in your left foot.
206 in the body
26 in a foot

42. Task Visit http://bit.ly/tfDU
Use this resource to help you name the bones in the human body. OR
Collect a cut out worksheet to put together a simplified skeleton and name the parts.

43. Task 1 minute paper: What are the purposes of the skeleton?
GET READY TO WRITE!!

44. Joints
If the skeleton was only one piece, you would be like a statue, unable to move.
The bones meet at joints which allow movement.

45. Task Group Task: What purpose does each section of the joint serve?
Hint: what does it attach to and what type of surface does it have?

46. Task
Draw or find a diagram of a typical joint and make a table which summarises the purpose of the ligament, cartilage and synovial fluid.
(look at activity 16 for clues)
